  1. Re:Holy Crap by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on New Interface Could Wire Prosthetics Directly Into Amputees' Nervous Systems

    The talk I was referencing was given by Nitish Thakor, of the Biomedical Engineering department at Johns Hopkins (website link: http://web1.johnshopkins.edu/nthakor/); I would have listed the name earlier, but it eluded me and I didn't have my EMBC booklet/DVD with me.

    As an aside, if you're interested in just the high-level overview of the work, check out the following press release: http://www.jhuapl.edu/newscenter/pressreleases/2007/070426.asp (note that the system in question is the same as that mentioned in Mikael's link: http://www.ric.org/research/accomplishments/Bionic.aspx)

    "I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis - now lose the arm!"

    The shoulder attachment segment even looks a little bit like the "demo" arm they had in the lab in that movie - see also http://www.ric.org/bionic/photo3.php. Pity this arm isn't nearly as powerful - apparently it can't even crack a nut, much less break every bone in someone's hand...
